When asked if a school is a “good” school or a “bad” school, I know that is not the right question.

This weekend will tell us a little more about what to expect from the young Tigers. They’ll head to Columbia to take on South Carolina in an SEC matchup that is being hyped with College Game Day In the game versus Nicholls State, the Tigers got off to a sluggish start and let the Colonels hang with them, only leading 23-14 at halftime. Adjustments made at half and superior athlete proves to be too much for Nicholls as the Tigers scored 21 points in the third and cruised to a 44-21 victory in Death Valley. QB Garrett Nussmeier had another strong performance, tossing six touchdowns to four different receivers. Once again though, the running game fell flat, this time only garnering 55 yards from their running backs. Freshman Ju’Juan Johnson, a former quarterback and safety gave a little spark when he came in so maybe there’s something there. Let’s hope.

Northwest Louisiana sales taxing jurisdictions reflect a mixed bag for August. Receipts are slightly up in Caddo, way down in Bossier.
I was a skeptic at first, but as the first weekend of August approached, I was hopeful that the very ambitious plans for a four-day festival could be something good for the city. It turned out to be better than good. It was great. The festival showcased another side of Shreveport, and happily, it turned out to be just what the doctor ordered.
